"So the girl says," Fred paused, his wide grin threatening to split his face, "'I stepped on a duck'."
The Gryffindor common room reverberated with peals of laughter as Ron's ears turned beet red.
Hermione put a hand on his shoulder consolingly, though she too was laughing. "Relax, Ron, it's only a joke."
He looked down at his hands. "Yeah, I guess." He looked up and smiled tightly. "It was pretty funny."
Fred spread his arms and looked around at the faces of the small group assembled in front of the fire. "Anyone got something better?" he challenged.
"I know a good one about Oliver Wood," Dean suggested.
George groaned. "Please, don't. I've heard every possible joke about Oliver Wood's name."
Kameron raised her eyebrows. "Oh, really?" Everyone turned to her. "Would you care to put some money on that?"
George also raised his brows, "Sure. If you know a joke about Oliver's name that I haven't heard before, and if it's as funny as Fred's duck joke, I'll give you," he stopped and thought a moment, "3 galleons and two free Skiving Snackboxes."
The crowd 'oohed' at his offer.
Kameron smiled. "I accept."
Four minutes later, every person listening had wide eyes of astonishment. It was silent for a few suspended seconds, then suddenly they all broke out laughing. Some even had tears streaming from their eyes. A few looked disgusted, others seemed embarrassed.
George took out his coin purse and tossed it to Kameron. He shook his head, still laughing.
"You earned it!"
A/N: If you want to know Fred's joke (it's one of my personal favorites) just ask!
Also, I'm not funny enough to come up with a really good Oliver Wood joke, so if you've got one, get it to me and I might implement it into this drabble. Yay! Audience participation!
